Pros

The work is challenging and for the most part, the people are really great. Good family work/life balance. Most managers allow flex-time schedules which is a huge benefit.

Cons

The pay for newer technicians (<10 years) is extremely below the market pay scales. There are no longer pension plans, 401K match is a pathetic .375% match up to 8% of you contributions for the first 6 years, and the benefits keep eroding every year. Quality of life is actually decreasing due to no raises and several unpaid furloughs. Factor that in with the terrible morale due to layoffs, unpaid furloughs, promotion freezes, outsource everything they possibly can (at the expense of quality) and rumors of the company getting sold..... it is not a great place.

Pros

The team is great and people are excited to have you there. You are given value-added work and projects week 1. There are a lot of other interns at both the graduate and undergraduate level so there is a strong sense of intern community and support. If you have to relocate for the internship, complete housing is provided (they find you an apartment and pay for everything - results on the apartment itself may vary but are generally close to the office).

Cons

Varying start dates led to varying first day experience. The onboarding day for those who had it day 1 was great, but some interns got it after their first week and had little direction day 1.
